While working on a huge AS3 application last month, i discovered the magic of cross-scripting. What’s that s*** ? Following the livedocs :
If two SWF files written with ActionScript 3.0 are served from the same domain–for example, the URL for one SWF file is http://www.example.com/swfA.swf and the URL for the other is http://www.example.com/swfB.swf–then one SWF file can examine and modify variables, objects, properties, methods, and so on in the other, and vice versa. This is called cross-scripting.
But they don’t talk about the multiple problems you can find loading SWFs into SWFs. Here’s my first test with cross-scripting :
(more…)
This argument is very useful. You can type it as Array. It can’t be null :
function pouet(... args:Array):void {
trace("pouet [", args.length, "]", args);
}
// pouet [ 4 ] pouet,tagada,tsoin,tsoin
pouet("pouet","tagada","tsoin","tsoin");
// pouet [ 4 ] pouet,tagada,,tsoin
pouet("pouet","tagada",null,"tsoin");
// pouet [ 4 ] pouet,tagada,,
pouet("pouet","tagada",null,null);
// pouet [ 4 ] ,,,
pouet(null,null,null,null);
// pouet [ 0 ]
pouet();
All InteractiveObject based object can be focused :
You don’t need the fl.managers.FocusManager to set or remove the focus on objects :
// to set the focus
stage.focus = myTextField;
// to remove the focus
stage.focus = null;
If the focused InteractiveObject is hided, it loose the focus :
stage.focus = myTextField;
trace(stage.focus); // output : [object TextField]
myTextField.visible = false;
trace(stage.focus); // output : null
To remove the crappy yellow rect on all focused InteractiveObject :
stage.stageFocusRect = null;
